Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro
Speaker 1: American student organization in the country, fighting for the future
Speaker 1: of our republic. My call is to fight evil and
Speaker 1: to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you
Speaker 1: is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But
Speaker 1: if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end
Speaker 1: up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to
Speaker 1: stop sending your kids to college. You should get married
Speaker 1: as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
Speaker 1: Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter.
Speaker 1: Go start aturning point youould say high school chapter. Go
Speaker 1: find out how your church can get involved. Sign up
Speaker 1: and become an activist. I gave my life to the
Speaker 1: Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made
Speaker 1: in my life, and I encourage you to do the same.
Speaker 1: Here I am Lord, Use me. Buckle up, everybody, Here
Speaker 1: we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by
Speaker 1: Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only
Speaker 1: precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. What a
Speaker 2: weekend it is. Charlie twenty so I know he would be.
Speaker 2: It's February twenty third, twenty twenty six. Apparently there's a
Speaker 2: blizzard going on on the East coast, not here in Phoenix,
Speaker 2: but we'll find out State of Union is tomorrow and
Speaker 2: I'm planning on traveling there if the flights allow. If not,
Speaker 2: you'll see me here tomorrow. But what a weekend for
Speaker 2: American sports and Olympic We weren't debating whether or not
Speaker 2: the men's team winning US gold for the US against
Speaker 2: Canada was a top ten American sports moment, and I
Speaker 2: think it is.
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like it has to be.
Speaker 4: It's it's not as big as the Miracle on Ice
Speaker 4: for a few reasons, but it comes close and it
Speaker 4: it sort of captures the spirit of it.
Speaker 3: You think I saw a good take that was.
Speaker 4: In we defeated Soviet Communism, and this time we defeated
Speaker 4: basically the twenty twenty six version of Soviet Communism, which
Speaker 4: is basically.
Speaker 2: Hyper gay, hyper wokeism.
Speaker 3: I was when Canada's gone all in.
Speaker 2: On being I would venture to guess that Canadian wokeism
Speaker 2: as is as large an existential threat, if not bigger,
Speaker 2: to our way of life and to the survival of
Speaker 2: Western civilization as Soviet communism.
Speaker 4: Survival quite literally given their love of assistant suicide.
Speaker 2: Yes, euthanasia, the euthanasia country. But it was a beautiful moment.
Speaker 2: I would just let's just go through some of these
Speaker 2: clips because we A new star has been born, Jack Hughes.
Speaker 2: And this was the clip that when I I was
Speaker 2: busy with family yesterday, so I was only like half
Speaker 2: checked in and this clip came across the wire immediately,
Speaker 2: and I was just filled with patriotism at Jack Hughes
Speaker 2: in the way he handled this moment two thirty five.
Speaker 5: It's all about our country right now.
Speaker 6: I love the USA, my teammates, that's unbelievable, the US
Speaker 6: or hockey brotherhood. It's so strong, and we had so
Speaker 6: much support. Next players, I'm so proud to be American today.
Speaker 2: So proud to be American today. He said, you know,
Speaker 2: that's a great Canadian team over there, but this is
Speaker 2: American hockey. We did this for the country. And it
Speaker 2: was just like we've seen so many bad clips and
Speaker 2: bad interviews from this Olympics, from woke athletes, skaters that
Speaker 2: can't win gold and that fall sorry rooting against you,
Speaker 2: was happy you fell. Sorry, just how I feel. But
Speaker 2: then we saw so many good stories, right like Alyssa
Speaker 2: Lou who may may be a liberal, maybe woke, but
Speaker 2: she didn't disrespect us on the national stage and for
Speaker 2: that we salute her and she won gold, and then
Speaker 2: you get this moment. It was just and by the way,
Speaker 2: we had more medals, more gold medals than we'd had
Speaker 2: since two thousand and two. At the Salt Lake City game,
Speaker 2: we had the most medals we'd ever had.
Speaker 4: I think before we move on to anything else, we
Speaker 4: should actually get the moment itself, which is the yeah,
Speaker 4: let's go score the golden goal, which is so just context.
Speaker 4: For those who didn't watch the game, it was very
Speaker 4: tight the whole game.
Speaker 3: It was one to one.
Speaker 4: I would say, actually, clearly Canada is the stronger team,
Speaker 4: way more shots on goal.
Speaker 3: We had some really great ones.
Speaker 4: There was a Canadian player misses a wide open shot
Speaker 4: at I don't know, five feet away. If that, there
Speaker 4: was another one where it would have gone in and
Speaker 4: just freak deflected off the goalie's stick, the goalie and
Speaker 4: the goalie was amazing. And then I'm told this is
Speaker 4: the clip, this is in overtime sudden death. That's one
Speaker 4: of the best things about hockey, pure sudden death. When
Speaker 4: you get into the finale and.
Speaker 3: I'm told, uh, let's show.
Speaker 4: It's only it's only two forty four, and it's only
Speaker 4: the or two forty three, but we only have it
Speaker 4: as b roll.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, that's fine. Throw it up, Yeah, throw it up.
Speaker 2: We'll narrate.
Speaker 4: And he's taking it down. They have it three on
Speaker 4: three in overtime. Jack hues back and it's great. I
Speaker 4: really love the Canadian announcer. He's very crestfallen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. Well you know it's great though, is
Speaker 2: that Jack Hughes had actually got a high stick penalty
Speaker 2: against him, loses a couple of teeth, so he's all bloody,
Speaker 2: his mouth's just and then he goes on to score
Speaker 2: the winning goal and his brother's on the team. At
Speaker 2: another little known fact here, his mom was actually a
Speaker 2: coach for the women's team that also won gold.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's amazing.
Speaker 2: So the Hughes family won three gold medals from this Olympics,
Speaker 2: which is just phenomenal.
Speaker 4: Several family affairs because I think we also had the
Speaker 4: Kachuck brothers, Matthew and Brady.
Speaker 3: I think they were on the team as well, so
Speaker 3: we have some great clips.
Speaker 4: In fact, speaking of the him getting his teeth mangled,
Speaker 4: Jack Hughes had that to say after the game two
Speaker 4: thirty nine.
Speaker 1: I'm lucky.
Speaker 6: I'm from the best country in the world, and we
Speaker 6: got great.
Speaker 7: Dentists there too, so.
Speaker 3: I'm lucky I'm American and they're going to fix me
Speaker 3: right up.
Speaker 2: It's just so good anyways, So this is just one
Speaker 2: of the proudest moments, and then I want to address
Speaker 2: because it's just so annoying. Well actuallytually one other good
Speaker 2: note here first. So one of the players, Johnny Gudroau,
Speaker 2: had was killed in a drunk driving accident in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four, and they welcomed his kids out for the
Speaker 2: group picture. And I'm just I'm gonna be really honest,
Speaker 2: I got emotional watching this because they honored the widow,
Speaker 2: they honored the children, and my heart was instantly thinking
Speaker 2: about Erica and Charlie and their kids. And it was
Speaker 2: a beauty. I think we have an image of this
Speaker 2: if you guys can throw it up there. It was
Speaker 2: just wonderful when that happened. It actually kind of became
Speaker 2: a mainstream news story. I think uh.
Speaker 3: Jd Vance said something about it at the time.
Speaker 4: It was during the election season. Yeah, super popular player.
Speaker 4: They called him mister Hockey. I think they Hockey Johnny Hockey,
Speaker 4: huge ambassador for the game. And then just he and
Speaker 4: his brother killed by a drunk driver, which never should happened.
Speaker 2: Out but they honored his kids. They brought him out
Speaker 2: for the picture. It was actually his son, Johnny Junior's birthday.
Speaker 2: It was the two hundred and ninety eighth birthday of
Speaker 2: George Washington and it's obviously America two fifty. So there
Speaker 2: was just I mean, we were gonna win, guys, there
Speaker 2: was no chance. That's how I look at it. But honestly,
Speaker 2: just a beautiful, beautiful, touching moment. And then onto the
Speaker 2: annoying part. So Cash Hotel and I don't know, Blake
Speaker 2: might feel differently than this, I understand. I understand both
Speaker 2: sides here. But Cash Battel is over there apparently on
Speaker 2: another official business doing OPSEC. He's got meetings, has planned
Speaker 2: well in advance, according to his team. But he's a
Speaker 2: hockey player and he's a huge hockey fan. They invite
Speaker 2: him down into the locker room afterwards, and he's I mean,
Speaker 2: he's living it up. It's like the best moment. And
Speaker 2: by the way, we were all cash Hotel. In that moment,
Speaker 2: I was feeling complete joy and pride for our nation.
Speaker 2: And so Cash is back there, he's drinking a beer
Speaker 2: and here's my thing. So people the left especially is
Speaker 2: outraged at this. Some people on the right are outraged
Speaker 2: about it. They don't think he's doing enough good. Well, listen,
Speaker 2: like the crime rate and the murder rate is at
Speaker 2: the lowest it's been. There are wins on the board.
Speaker 2: I get it. You want more. We all want more.
Speaker 2: But Cash in this moment was just like one of us.
Speaker 2: He was just an American celebrating an amazing, amazing victory.
Speaker 2: And here's my take. Those guys invited him to be
Speaker 2: with them. They loved it. Look at him, they're all
Speaker 2: jumping up and down. They called him down, And if
Speaker 2: it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me,
Speaker 2: and I have no problem with it. Let him celebrate
Speaker 2: the way they want to celebrate.
Speaker 3: It's weird for an FBI director to be doing that, I.
Speaker 2: Agree, But guess what, it's weird. You know that President
Speaker 2: Trump sends out truth the way he does. It's weird.
Speaker 2: A lot of things are abnormal. It's weird that Gavin
Speaker 2: Newsom is trying to relate to black people by saying
Speaker 2: he has a low say. All I would say is
Speaker 2: it's a lot of weird.
Speaker 4: If James Comey in twenty when he was FBI director,
Speaker 4: or any if Merrick Garland had been at an Olympic
Speaker 4: game in twenty twenty two and was jumping around like that.
Speaker 2: Hard pass, hard disagree. James Comy is not a hockey player.
Speaker 2: Cash Betel is a hockey player, big, huge hockey fan.
Speaker 2: He was there, He facetimed the president. They got invited
Speaker 2: to the State of the Union. It was a beautiful moment.
Speaker 2: I think, listen to all the haters out there, it
Speaker 2: must be a miserable existence, like constantly being upset all
Speaker 2: the time. This was a beautiful win, beautiful for the country.
Speaker 2: Let him celebrate. The guys loved it. They're patriots, they
Speaker 2: handled themselves well, made the nation prep. I want to
Speaker 2: tell you, or actually want to play for you. One
Speaker 2: clip from Charlie about the Olympics. Charlie loved the Olympics.
Speaker 2: Often when the Olympics were on, we were just constantly
Speaker 2: talking about it, and we've tried to do him justice
Speaker 2: and talk about the Olympics that have been going on.
Speaker 2: This is a great clip through twenty.
Speaker 1: Seven, the moment you put on the Team USA jersey.
Speaker 1: It is about duty, responsibility, obligation to the nation, and victory.
Speaker 2: And he goes on to talk about one clip that
Speaker 2: the audio sinking was kind off, so we didn't play it,
Speaker 2: but he was saying, this is peaceful political combat. That's
Speaker 2: why you have USA on your jersey, and I love that.
Speaker 2: It's a really great way to frame everything that's going on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, although I really I want I wish we had him.
Speaker 4: To get his take on like the Eileen Goo thing,
Speaker 4: for an example, peace of geopolitical combat between countries, all
Speaker 4: of whose athletes just grew up in the United States.
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, I mean it's unfortunate because he's very talented
Speaker 2: and grew up skiing in Tahoe and she took the
Speaker 2: money twenty million dollars for Ileane Goo every year.
Speaker 4: Hey everyone, we're excited to tell you about Charlie's favorite supplement.
Speaker 4: If you experience brain fog, low energy, frequent illnesses, or

Speaker 4: focused for all the debates he was engaged in. Strong
Speaker 4: cell gives clean, natural energy without jitters, weird spikes, or

Speaker 2: All right, there is more international news that we have
Speaker 2: to get to, but basically, all hell broke loose in Mexico.
Speaker 2: Here's here's the deal. They killed a massive kingpin and
Speaker 2: of all the cartels, his name is Elmentcho. But of
Speaker 2: all the cartels, it was the Cartel Jalisco New Generation
Speaker 2: or Nuevo Heneracion or whatever. So the cj NG cartel,
Speaker 2: which is I feel like there's a new cartel. Ever
Speaker 2: the car this cartel has existed with basic impunity in
Speaker 2: Mexico for years. And I thought this was really important
Speaker 2: because this morning President Trump is, you know, honoring the
Speaker 2: angel families. He's bringing up the mother of uh. He's
Speaker 2: bringing up the mother of Lincoln Riley, who was killed
Speaker 2: at the hands of an illegal immigrant. And here meanwhile,
Speaker 2: we've got this whole fight going on in Washington where
Speaker 2: they're trying to defund DHS, which is the agency that
Speaker 2: he is safe, that which under you know ices under Listen,
Speaker 2: you could make an argument that DHS shouldn't have been
Speaker 2: consolidated into one agency.
Speaker 4: No, which it's just they're trying to defund the organization
Speaker 4: that plays on the frontline of making it so a
Speaker 4: US city does not look like Porto Biarta. Yes, they
Speaker 4: are trying to defund the agency that keeps every one
Speaker 4: of those cartel members, which if you watch those clips,
Speaker 4: they have assault weapons, they have armored vehicles, they have
Speaker 4: heavy explosives. That is what happens when you have a
Speaker 4: full blown cartel narco state operating with impunity. And that
Speaker 4: is there's nothing about destiny that keeps America from being
Speaker 4: like that. We are not like that because we have
Speaker 4: different people, different laws, different values. And if you change
Speaker 4: the situation, if we are just Mexico, we'll have the
Speaker 4: same thing.
Speaker 2: Borders are where bad ideas, bad policy, bad governance end,
Speaker 2: and good ideas, good governance and good policy begins. If
Speaker 2: we have the courage of our own sovereignty, if we
Speaker 2: have the courage of our own convictions, and we are
Speaker 2: proud to be Americans and say our ideas are better,
Speaker 2: our foundation is better. I'm not saying Mexicans are bad people.
Speaker 2: Some I suppose they're good people, as President Trump once said.
Speaker 2: But the point is our country and our civilization is
Speaker 2: more successful for a reason, and we cannot allow those
Speaker 2: cartel factions and forces to cross over the border and
Speaker 2: infect our country, which they did under President Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: There are currently cartel members existing in all fifty states.
Speaker 2: This isn't just like a border region thing. This is
Speaker 2: all across the country. And I have a theory on
Speaker 2: this why we saw this now ELMENTA was taken out
Speaker 2: by the Mexican military, but it was done in coordination
Speaker 2: with US intelligence, so we were providing intel about where
Speaker 2: this guy was. It was also very interesting that he
Speaker 2: died in transit, so they there was a shootout and
Speaker 2: through him along with two others, so three of them
Speaker 2: died in transit. I think they made a very I
Speaker 2: think they made a conscious decision to make sure that
Speaker 2: he was not able to exist alive, because then he
Speaker 2: would have been a target for an assault on the prison.
Speaker 2: He was at I think they killed him in air,
Speaker 2: That's what I think, or at least refused to resuscitate him.
Speaker 2: But whatever, that's speculation. I also think that they chose
Speaker 2: to do this after a year of President Trump's deportation
Speaker 2: efforts getting some of these bad own breads out, because
Speaker 2: you got to get these cartel factions that exist within
Speaker 2: the United States at least cowed. You have to put
Speaker 2: them on the defense, right, And so this is what's interesting.
Speaker 2: President Trump's policies are making their life a living hell.
Speaker 2: Let's go to two fifty eight. This was from September
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. CNN interviewed one of them and asked
Speaker 2: them this two fifty eight.
Speaker 1: Think what President Trump has been doing has been making
Speaker 1: your job tougher? Oh yeah, yes, but it's becoming more difficult,
Speaker 1: you think.
Speaker 2: And President Trump is on record stating the case very plainly.
Speaker 2: Two fifty four.
Speaker 8: We are going to start now hitting that land. With
Speaker 8: regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico. It's
Speaker 8: very very sad to watch and see what's happened to
Speaker 8: that country. But the cartels are running and they're killing
Speaker 8: two hundred and fifty three hundred thousand people in our
Speaker 8: country every single year. The drugs. It's horrible. It's devastated.
Speaker 8: Families lose a child or a parent. I mean parents
Speaker 8: are dying too with drugs.
Speaker 2: So Cartel Jalisco New Generation was famous for a couple
Speaker 2: of things still are. They have armored vehicles, they have
Speaker 2: rocket launchers. I mean, this is a complete paramilitary organization,
Speaker 2: and they just decided, hey, you're gonna kill our leader.
Speaker 2: We're going to make your life a living hell all
Speaker 2: over the country. They're famous for fentanyl, running cocaine. They're
Speaker 2: also famous for things like fraud with timeshares. So actually
Speaker 2: the Treasury Department just sanctioned a Mexican timeshare company that
Speaker 2: was part of which was run by this cartel. They're
Speaker 2: famous for ripping off senior citizens that are vay vacationing
Speaker 2: there American seeders, senior citizens, and then of course smuggling
Speaker 2: of humans. So this is a really nasty cartel that
Speaker 2: was a essentially they lifted up this Elemento as their
Speaker 2: pre eminent leader, right, it was a cult of personality.
Speaker 2: So for them to lose this guy would be extraordinarily destabilizing.
Speaker 2: So that's my theory is that the Mexican government. The
Speaker 2: President Trump has been putting the screws to the Mexican
Speaker 2: government to get them to act. They finally did it
Speaker 2: after a year with our help and involvement. All right,
Speaker 2: without further ado. Steve das host of the Steve Days
Speaker 2: Show on Blaze TV, Welcome back to the show, my friend.
Speaker 2: It's good to have you.
Speaker 5: Good to see you too.
Speaker 2: How are you doing great? So, Steve, you had this
Speaker 2: great tweet and you were talking. I mean, we can
Speaker 2: put it up on screen if you wants a little
Speaker 2: bit long three thirteen. So I just want to pull
Speaker 2: some threads from here. You're saying, you're a child of
Speaker 2: the eighties. You detested, you cheer. You know, if you
Speaker 2: woke up and if if we woke up this morning
Speaker 2: and Masad took them out. Basically, however, we were told
Speaker 2: that they were taken care of, that this was already done,
Speaker 2: and now we're gearing up for another another invasion here
Speaker 2: it looks like could be more kinetic activity. And you
Speaker 2: you start to I felt like you were you were
Speaker 2: channeling your your inner Charlie where you're saying, we don't
Speaker 2: we hate the brain raw of anti Semitism, but like
Speaker 2: for a moment, put yourself in their shoes and try
Speaker 2: and understand where they're coming from, try and make sense
Speaker 2: of this, the the their counter theories and this all
Speaker 2: of the I thought you put it beautifully, So please
Speaker 2: check out this tweet from Steve. You put it much
Speaker 2: more eloquently than I have just now. But break it
Speaker 2: down your big idea here, Steve, and why you're trying,
Speaker 2: why why you felt was important that you put this out.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, some of this is exactly where Charlie
Speaker 7: and I texted each other last June, the night that
Speaker 7: we bombed Ron the first time. And generationally I'm gonna
Speaker 7: be way more jingoistic about let's make iron the Iranian
Speaker 7: regime assume temperature. But I also understand the tension. I
Speaker 7: have a son in law that's enlisted right now. He
Speaker 7: was told by his unit two years ago that if
Speaker 7: Joe Biden won, they were all just going to go
Speaker 7: over to Syria for two years for reasons.
Speaker 5: And so I'm very sense.
Speaker 7: I mean, that was basically it for reasons, you know,
Speaker 7: And so I'm sensitive to this in that what is
Speaker 7: the point of what we are doing here? And have
Speaker 7: we explained it? And hey, listen, I was the guy
Speaker 7: on the main stage that you all put up against
Speaker 7: the gropers, all right, So I mean, I think everybody
Speaker 7: knows where I stand on that entire debate. But I
Speaker 7: talked to a lot of those young men, Andrew and
Speaker 7: Blake after that, after that talk, and a lot of them, frankly,
Speaker 7: are just driven to the likes of Fuintes on a
Speaker 7: couple of impulses. Number One, they don't want to be
Speaker 7: another generation of wimpy dudes. They don't want to grow
Speaker 7: up and be Mike Pence with a perpetual furrowed brow
Speaker 7: and wearing sweater vests in July and Hawaiian shirts in January.
Speaker 5: They don't want to be that guy. That's part of it,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 7: And when we skipped kind of a generation of masculine
Speaker 7: modeling and leadership. So they're kind of searching, and somebody
Speaker 7: like Fointe is kind of steps into that void and
Speaker 7: gives them an aberrant I would say, demonic inversion of that.
Speaker 7: But the other is they have a lot of questions
Speaker 7: that I think we as the older generation have to answer.
Speaker 7: Questions like why is it harder than ever to find
Speaker 7: a wife? Why is it harder than ever when you
Speaker 7: have one to find a house and to buy one.
Speaker 7: We have the highest median age home buyer in American
Speaker 7: history right now, forty one years old.
Speaker 5: All right, Why is why?
Speaker 7: You know, am I losing jobs in universities even if
Speaker 7: I want to go become a gay race communist or
Speaker 7: in the workplace to over twenty million foreigners that were
Speaker 7: imported over the last four years under Joe Biden. And
Speaker 7: I just think when we tell everybody last June that
Speaker 7: we obliterated Iran's nuclear capability and then we're being told
Speaker 7: a mere eight months later that nope, it's back, and
Speaker 7: now it requires the largest asset deployment of our military
Speaker 7: since the invasion of Iraq, I just think we need
Speaker 7: to step back and understand some of the reasons why
Speaker 7: our young men are are contemplating going into some of
Speaker 7: the dark recesses of the abyss that they are because
Speaker 7: we have lacked answers and substantive answers to some of
Speaker 7: these dilemmas. Why is it we're fighting harder for we're
Speaker 7: fighting harder on the borders of Iran right now than
Speaker 7: we are in Minneapolis.
Speaker 5: And I think that's a valid question and.
Speaker 7: If the older generation, such as myself and the boomers
Speaker 7: that are ahead of me, if we don't have good answers,
Speaker 7: then at that point it doesn't matter how many algorithms
Speaker 7: ban the likes of Afuenta as people. Young men are
Speaker 7: going to go searching for people like that as sources
Speaker 7: that might come up with aberant alternative theories like the
Speaker 7: tail wags the dog. And it's really the Jews and
Speaker 7: the Israelis that are really in control of the world. Well,
Speaker 7: when we don't offer them any prevailing theory of any
Speaker 7: common sense, don't be surprised when they go looking for alternatives.
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially with this Iran build up. It's as you say,
Speaker 4: we hurt. We saw the strike last summer, we were
Speaker 4: told it was effective, And I really feel the build
Speaker 4: up with Iran right now, it's almost happened on the
Speaker 4: back page of the papers, if anyone even reads papers anymore.
Speaker 4: I don't feel there's been much discussion of it. You
Speaker 4: compare with the Iraq War twenty years ago, which I
Speaker 4: do remember, there was a.
Speaker 3: Very long build up to it.
Speaker 4: Whatever, it was a big mistake, but there was a
Speaker 4: very strong and aggressive case made for the war on
Speaker 4: several grounds. Similarly, we had a pretty strong motive for
Speaker 4: going into Afghanistan. I do feel like a lot of
Speaker 4: Americans if we were to suddenly be doing a regime change,
Speaker 4: large scale war with Iran tomorrow one. I think a
Speaker 4: lot of people who are paying less attention would just
Speaker 4: be shocked that it's happening in the first place, because
Speaker 4: they would not have noticed the build up, and they
Speaker 4: would struggle to articulate why.
Speaker 3: Are we doing this now.
Speaker 4: There was the uprise in there, but that at this
Speaker 4: point was almost a couple months ago, and then there
Speaker 4: was the nuclear stuff. But it seems like if there
Speaker 4: was a rational reason to do, it would have happened
Speaker 4: last summer. And it's going to be difficult, I think,
Speaker 4: for if this happens for the administration to sell it,
Speaker 4: and I hope they've practiced what they would say.
Speaker 5: Don't disagree with any of that.
Speaker 7: And I think the key for the Trump administration, which
Speaker 7: Trump understood because of the years he's done business dealings
Speaker 7: in that part of the world. What he understood is
Speaker 7: that Muslim and Arab are not necessarily the same thing.
Speaker 7: And for decades, going back to as long as you
Speaker 7: two guys have been alive, The so called Palestinian question
Speaker 7: was the vexing conundrum of Middle East peace and administrations
Speaker 7: post Reagan, from Bush to Obama to Clinton, all were
Speaker 7: attempting how much land should we give up, how much
Speaker 7: autonomy to give the PLO and the Palestinians, on and
Speaker 7: on and on. And what Trump recognized is there's a
Speaker 7: lot of leaders in places like Saudi Arabia and Jordan
Speaker 7: and Egypt that actually could care less about this so
Speaker 7: called Palestinian question. They're no great fans of Israel, but
Speaker 7: they're not necessarily fans of forever in perpetual war either,
Speaker 7: and they'd like to start lining some of their pockets
Speaker 7: and be wealthy too. And I think he set that
Speaker 7: tone in riodd with one of the greatest foreign policy
Speaker 7: speeches I've seen in my lifetime, maybe the greatest foreign
Speaker 7: policy speech I've seen by a president post nine to eleven.
Speaker 7: And I think that set the tone for his success
Speaker 7: and why at the end of his first administration we
Speaker 7: were beginning to see normalization of relations between Israel and
Speaker 7: Saudi Arabia. For example, right now there's over two thousand
Speaker 7: Jews working full time in Saudi Arabia. I'd have been
Speaker 7: unheard of a decade ago, and you can put a
Speaker 7: lot of that on the success of this administration. And
Speaker 7: Iran is a seamless garment here. The Saudi's haterran for
Speaker 7: different reasons, but every bit as much as the Israelis do.
Speaker 7: And so there's a common foe and a common enemy here.
Speaker 7: And yet despite that, here's the thing that I think
Speaker 7: is the most troubling to me. Who reigns in place
Speaker 7: of the Iatolas?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 7: Listen, I want these guys to a to assume room
Speaker 7: temperature post taste.
Speaker 5: Right, But we're.
Speaker 7: Talking about a nation now of tens of millions of people,
Speaker 7: has its own has two different standing armies. Okay, it
Speaker 7: has the Revolutionary Guard that's loyal to the Iatola is
Speaker 7: its own national army, who so far has not stepped
Speaker 7: in and defended the protesters. So we don't know if
Speaker 7: there's an al Sissi kind of a figure within that military.
Speaker 5: We don't even have. You know, again, I'm a little
Speaker 5: older than you guys.
Speaker 7: Who's the Boris yeltsin, kind of half drunk but at
Speaker 7: least somewhat stable, you know, resistance figure. We don't have that,
Speaker 7: let alone a full statesman like Alec Willessa. Maybe this
Speaker 7: Resa Pavlavi, who's been living the lap of luxury his
Speaker 7: entire life in exile. Maybe there's the common Iranian that
Speaker 7: was getting gunned down in the streets would just love
Speaker 7: to have that aristocracy back. I don't I don't pretend
Speaker 7: to know, but Blake, these questions are some of the
Speaker 7: things that I think you have to answer for the
Speaker 7: American people.
Speaker 5: What's the plan of succession? Here?
Speaker 2: Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you
Speaker 2: about my friends over at why Refy. You've probably been
Speaker 2: hearing me talk about why REFI for some time now.
Speaker 2: We are all in with these guys. If you or
Speaker 2: someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt,
Speaker 2: take my advice and give them a call. Maybe you're
Speaker 2: behind on your payments, maybe you're even in default. You
Speaker 2: don't have to live in this nightmare anymore. Why Refy
Speaker 2: will provide you a custom payment based on your ability
Speaker 2: to pay. They tailor each loan individually. They can save
Speaker 2: you thousands of dollars and you can get your life back.
Speaker 2: We go to campuses all over America and we see
Speaker 2: student after student who's drowning in private student loan debt.
Speaker 2: Many of them don't even know how much they owe.
Speaker 2: Y Refi can help. Just go to y refi dot com.
Speaker 2: That's the letter why then refi dot com And remember
Speaker 2: why Refi doesn't care what your credit score is. Just
Speaker 2: go to yrefi dot com and tell them your friend
Speaker 2: Andrews sent you, Steve. I love love this tweet and
Speaker 2: wanted to talk about it with you because it, again,
Speaker 2: I just felt completely Charlie esque. And one thing that
Speaker 2: we have the privilege of doing it at turning point
Speaker 2: in our work on campus is we get to meet
Speaker 2: a lot of these young people. We'll bring them on
Speaker 2: the show. And I think, you know, if you could
Speaker 2: sum up Charlie's kind of the Charlie doctrine, if you will,
Speaker 2: it was, you know, why are we nation building abroad?
Speaker 2: We need to be nation building here at home. We
Speaker 2: have all these kids. To your point about all this immigration,
Speaker 2: you know, I was just traveling this weekend with my family.
Speaker 2: I couldn't get over how many foreigners were around, mostly Hispanics,
Speaker 2: but there was other nations of I mean it was
Speaker 2: like half and half. It was like half Americans half foreigners,
Speaker 2: and you you extrapolate that to the workplace. You extrapolate
Speaker 2: that to where they learn. You extrapolate that when they
Speaker 2: go get an idea at the DMV. You extrapolate that
Speaker 2: across the board. And they feel like they live in
Speaker 2: a nation that has betrayed them, that is basically let
Speaker 2: in the third world at their own expense and giving
Speaker 2: them all kinds of kickbacks, all kinds of privileges and
Speaker 2: advantages at their expense. And and there and then and
Speaker 2: then they look at the news and we're about to
Speaker 2: bomb Iran again, and I think there is this cognitive
Speaker 2: dissonance that starts to sort of creep in, and as
Speaker 2: you point out in your tweet, they start looking for
Speaker 2: other explanations. They don't care what the constitution says when
Speaker 2: they're looking at that kind of of a formula. They
Speaker 2: don't They stop caring about the George Washington and Thomas
Speaker 2: Jefferson and the beauty of our founding documents and our
Speaker 2: founding creeds. They don't care. They're just looking at their
Speaker 2: life and saying, I can't do it like my parents
Speaker 2: did it because of these structural issues. Now, you could
Speaker 2: be of a gen X or a Boomer generation and
Speaker 2: say that they're just a bunch of whiners. I'm telling
Speaker 2: you a lot of these kids are amazing. They're hard workers,
Speaker 2: they're they're in a different generation would have been considered
Speaker 2: great patriots. Structurally, though, there are issues in front of
Speaker 2: them that we have to acknowledge, we have to be
Speaker 2: honest about. So I loved your tweet and I want
Speaker 2: to get into this in the next segment, Steve. But
Speaker 2: then you've got this Austin Tucker metcalf Kid that went
Speaker 2: into mar A Lago with a gas can and a
Speaker 2: shotgun and gets himself killed because he's getting he's, you know,
Speaker 2: on some Reddit channels or something on the Epstein Files.
Speaker 2: We got to make sense of this. We have to
Speaker 2: make sense of what's happening to our young people in
Speaker 2: this crazy media landscape that they're all kind of trying
Speaker 2: to exist in. Throw Up three twenty nine. This is
Speaker 2: apparently this Austin Tucker metcalf Kid and TMZ got this
Speaker 2: tweet of his or text message exchanged. He said, I
Speaker 2: don't know if you've read up on the Epstein Files,
Speaker 2: but evil is real and unmistakable. The best people like
Speaker 2: you and I can do is use what little influence
Speaker 2: we have te other people about what you hear about
Speaker 2: the Epstein files and what the government is doing about it.
Speaker 2: Raise awareness. So this is a guy that apparently is
Speaker 2: like traditionally been a conservative. He's he's been proud about
Speaker 2: his Christian identity or his Christian faith, and then he
Speaker 2: goes intomorrow Lago seemingly to set fire to it, shoot somebody,
Speaker 2: maybe assassinate the president. Thinking back to our conversation in
Speaker 2: the last segment, how do you what are you thinking
Speaker 2: about this story, Steve?
Speaker 7: I think, first of all, it's it's brilliant to connect
Speaker 7: these two stories. And I listen, as I get older,
Speaker 7: I'm getting that age I have to hire my oldest
Speaker 7: daughter to run some of my social media because I'm
Speaker 7: at the age now where I just don't want to
Speaker 7: learn anything. Now I'm good, I'm good, you know. And
Speaker 7: we all hit that age, right, and so next stop
Speaker 7: Grand Tarino okay and sour.
Speaker 5: Looks right okay.
Speaker 7: And you know, And I think the benefit that I
Speaker 7: have is I'm launching a nineteen year old son into
Speaker 7: manhood right now. All right, just graduated high school, right,
Speaker 7: has two job interviews today. He's got some real talent.
Speaker 7: When it comes to writing and content creation. But even
Speaker 7: when your old man's got connections, those are some of
Speaker 7: the toughest businesses to break into. So you know, he's
Speaker 7: got to start at the bottom, you know, like mister Miyagi.
Speaker 5: Says, send the flow kind of stuff, you know, And.
Speaker 7: So that has been helpful to me to hold off
Speaker 7: some of my y'all are just lazy and soft because
Speaker 7: I know what home he was raised in, and being
Speaker 7: lazy and soft was not permitted in my home.
Speaker 5: So that helps.
Speaker 7: Me to not immediately devolve to that sort of old
Speaker 7: man yells at cloud default setting, because I now hear
Speaker 7: the other side of the conversation I hear with him
Speaker 7: and his peer group. A lot of these are kids
Speaker 7: from you know, good homes, Christian homes to Christian school homeschool, right,
Speaker 7: and even they are feeling this tension. Let alone the
Speaker 7: young men that maybe didn't have a good dad or
Speaker 7: any dat at all in the home to model anything
Speaker 7: to them at all. This idea that for the very
Speaker 7: first time, it is very possible none of what we
Speaker 7: know as America or the American dream will be there
Speaker 7: for them at all. And then at the same token,
Speaker 7: what occupies their time I mean, we had law of
Speaker 7: the jungle.
Speaker 5: When I was growing up.
Speaker 7: There were just certain things you could not say to
Speaker 7: another young man for fear that your parents cannot afford
Speaker 7: the orthodontist to the you know appointment.
Speaker 5: Okay, I mean if you played football growing up as
Speaker 5: I did, you know what an Oklahoma drill was.
Speaker 7: And that's where things came correct real quick about the
Speaker 7: stuff you were maybe running your mouth about in school. Well,
Speaker 7: now on these devices, I jump on Snapchat, I jump
Speaker 7: on a Reddit form, and I just say a gamer
Speaker 7: form and I just say things I'd never say to
Speaker 7: somebody else's face because there's no instant recourse. And so
Speaker 7: the level of venom and toxicity is way higher at
Speaker 7: the exact same time. And so where does all that
Speaker 7: masculine energy go. We have a real, real crisis here.
Speaker 7: You know, to quote Barack Obama's former pastor, America's chickens
Speaker 7: are coming home to Roosta where we skipped a generation
Speaker 7: of masculine leadership and modeling in the home, in the pulpit,
Speaker 7: and in too much of our body politic and cultural institutions.
Speaker 7: And so now the repercussions for that are here. And
Speaker 7: this is that's why I said, you know, and when
Speaker 7: I eulogized Charlie at Amfest that for the mission, for
Speaker 7: his mission to reach the young men to be confirmed
Speaker 7: and successful, is going to be determined now by the
Speaker 7: older men, the boomer men in their third act, the
Speaker 7: gen x men like me entering your third act. How
Speaker 7: you finish your race, how you model on the back end,
Speaker 7: what Charlie was urging these young men to do on
Speaker 7: the front end. Because we should be the ones now
Speaker 7: that are living the best portion of our lives, living
Speaker 7: the blessing of getting married, having children, staying with our wives,
Speaker 7: making something of ourselves. We need to model that, finish
Speaker 7: and finish well otherwise I fear what's going to happen
Speaker 7: collectively to this generation of young men, for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And on top of that, this is another version, another
Speaker 4: manifestation of what we actually saw in Minneapolis, where the
Speaker 4: alex pretty is the Renee Goods, the people who are
Speaker 4: getting whipped up by that line that this is a
Speaker 4: you know, a fascist takeover, that there is that we're
Speaker 4: on the brink of a Nazi dictatorship, and mentally imbalanced
Speaker 4: people are pushed over the edge by that sort of rhetoric.
Speaker 4: And that's also what we're seeing with this mar Lago gunman,
Speaker 4: that he's getting told, oh, there's a pedophile cabal running America.
Speaker 4: And there are people running with that narrative who know
Speaker 4: that it is a severe exaggeration, who know that it
Speaker 4: is not the real, that's not reality, but they also
Speaker 4: know it will whip up people like that to go
Speaker 4: too far, especially because at the same time, we have
Speaker 4: a real case of burgeoning call it assassination culture in
Speaker 4: America where people are just overtly in favor of talking
Speaker 4: about murdering politicians, murdering leaders. We have clips like this.
Speaker 4: In fact, let's play one of them. This is a
Speaker 4: three point thirty eight.
Speaker 1: I don't think it would it would take that many
Speaker 1: of them having something happen before.
Speaker 2: Maybe they started to fall online, is all I'm saying,
Speaker 2: you know, just like three maybe publicly. Yeah, but this,
Speaker 2: by the way, that's one of like a dozen clips
Speaker 2: that our team has pulled. And the comments are all like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're not dreaming big enough. We need to kill more.
Speaker 2: And what's interesting about this, and Steve, we've got about
Speaker 2: two minutes left here, is that this has been coming
Speaker 2: from the left to the right. I mean, this is
Speaker 2: why we make such a big deal about this, because
Speaker 2: it killed our friend. But this kid seems to fit
Speaker 2: in a different sort of paradigm here.
Speaker 7: So well, just like we saw there was a pattern
Speaker 7: as I was coming of age politically where postmodernism infested
Speaker 7: the left and then the like a swarm of locusts.
Speaker 7: Once it had corrupted that entire crop and consumed it,
Speaker 7: it then started seeping into some of the right as well.
Speaker 5: We're now seeing this with nihilism.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 7: So nihilism in and of itself is a fundamentally demonic ideology, right,
Speaker 7: But again, I mean, most demonic ideologies behave in the
Speaker 7: marketplace of ideas like locusts, and locusts are never satiated,
Speaker 7: They just consume until the crop is gone and then
Speaker 7: just find the new crop. And that's kind of how
Speaker 7: this works out in the ideologically. And so we're now
Speaker 7: starting to see some of this black pilling kind of
Speaker 7: nihilism emerge within within our side too, particularly amongst a
Speaker 7: cachet of our young men. And the thing that we
Speaker 7: have to always remember about Marxist ideologies is everything they do,
Speaker 7: say and think, everything is to accomplish two goals more
Speaker 7: power and more control. And so as Blake is pointing
Speaker 7: out of cynically winking and nodding to some of these
Speaker 7: nihilistic elements. You know, it's okay to you know, how
Speaker 7: many you know, eggs do a crack in order to
Speaker 7: make an omelet kind of a thing. It's just collateral damage.
Speaker 7: If it gives them the power and control they want,
Speaker 7: they'll go with it. And the only thing they want
Speaker 7: that they won't be for is won't give them the
Speaker 7: power and control that they want.
Speaker 2: I think that's I think that's well said Steve. I
Speaker 2: you know, I really hope and I think this is
Speaker 2: one of Charlie's enduring legacies. I hope it endures, which
Speaker 2: is that you know, if you see the polling, a
Speaker 2: lot of this nihilism seemed to be on the left,
Speaker 2: the assassination culture, this mangionism was coming from the left.
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, young men on the right wanted to get married,
Speaker 2: to have families, they wanted to have a good job.
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw that at that NBC poll just
Speaker 2: before we lost Charlie. And so I just hope that
Speaker 2: what you're way, you know, you're sounding the alarm here.
Speaker 2: Charlie sounded the alarm about this nihilism creeping into the right.
Speaker 2: We have to fight it. We have to present an alternative.
Speaker 2: We have to present a faith based alternative. I believe
Speaker 2: as well, and I think your I think your message
Speaker 2: is well made, Steve, that gen X boomers, older millennials,
Speaker 2: we have to present that alternative version of events of
Speaker 2: reality that they can you know. And and by the way,
Speaker 2: we have to we have to make sure they can
Speaker 2: buy homes. I mean, we have to be nation building
Speaker 2: here at home. I hope that message gets through Steve Days.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, my friend. It's always a pleasure
Speaker 2: having you. We'll see against it.
Speaker 5: You bet, guys, God bless
